Abstract

This paper describes a method for constructing robust distributed programs. The method is based upon the provision of atomic actions that operate upon objects (instances of abstract data types). We begin by constructing robust non-distributed programs using the atomic action mechanism and then proceed to show how robust distributed programs can be constructed in a similar fashion. Finally we briefly examine other prototype distributed systems and examine their approach to the reliability problem.
